[edit] Disambiguation from "Head tax" and "Poll tax"

This article is named Head Tax. There is another article, Poll tax, which talks about the how this kind of tax has been used in different countries and times. The article Head tax (note that "t" is lowercase, instead of uppercase as in this article) redirects to Poll tax, not here. It would probably be less confusing if either:

  • Head tax redirected here, and this article had a reference to Poll tax, or
  • This article were renamed to Head Tax (Canada) or something more specific, and Head Tax redirected to the same place as Head tax.

I agree with the renaming suggestion, specifically "Head tax (Canada)" and have done so accordingly! Amchow78 19:25, 25 March 2006 (UTC)


What is this: "As a result, these racist measures caused great pain and suffering to the most vulnerable, or impoverished, class of Chinese arrivals--those who were at the bottom of the economic ladder."

That's extremely POVish. What sources do you have for the "great pain and suffering"????
